Flat Stanley has gone missing on the Connecticut portion of the New England Trail (NET) and we need your help to find him. Join us for a fun adventure as we embark on a scavenger hunt and search for clues to find the hidden CT Flat Stanley letterbox. Find Flat Stanley as we hike the NET and have your picture taken with him to be entered into a random drawing for a CT Walk Book. Fun for all ages. Bring your own letterbox and journal if you have one or borrow one of ours. Wear waterproof/ comfortable shoes; bring your camera (optional). Stay tuned for Flat Stanley's CT Outdoor Adventure # 4 during the last weekend of June.

About Me

Meet Flat Stanley, the amazing flat boy. He's a typical boy, except he is flat, which means he can slip under doors and other narrow places and be mailed all over the world. Based on the Flat Stanley books by author Jeff Brown and the Flat Stanly Project created by Canadian teacher Dale Hubert, Flat Stanley's CT Outdoor Adventure aims to get families to enjoy the outdoors together. This spring, Flat was visiting Connecticut but got lost on the New England Trail. The CT Forest & Park Association (CFPA)needs your help to find him. Print a template of Flat Stanley and color him in (download the template at www.ctwoodlands.org). Bring him on an official CFPA Flat Stanley family ramble or take him for a hike in your area. Take a picture of you and Flat on your adventure or write a story about it and share it on this blog. Those who submit a picture or story will be entered into a drawing to win a CT Walk Book. We look forward to seeing you on the New England Trail.
